The Power of the Middle Name...

So as we all know when you are in trouble as a child you always get "middle named". This tradition has been carried out in my house as well..."Lillian Shaye, I said stop banging on that.." or "Lillian Shaye, stop trying to tie up your sister." etc, etc...So the other day I took something away from Lily, I believe it was a pencil, and she got very upset with me and told me to put it down. When I informed her that she was not to speak to me that way she said "Mommy Shaye...put it down!" I had to turn my head the other way so that I didn't laugh right in front of her!!! Lily has found the power of the middle name, but doesn't realize that she can't exercise that power until she has her own kids. :)

Greasing the Wheels

We went to Lily's art show at her school yesterday afternoon, and it was great....they had the entire gymnastium covered in art work by all the kids..even the 6 month olds had some. We talked with her teachers who did nothing but praise Miss Lily on how well behaved and well mannered she is..and in my head I am thinking....are you talking about MY child??? lol. Lily is in that "great for everyone else but horrible for mama and daddy" phase. So we get home and I had to proceed to "grease the wheels"...poor Lily gets backed up easy.. I put some lactolose in with her juice and boy did it work. The problem is that it kicked in at 1:30 in the morning....and keept she and I both up until 4:30!!!! It was a Long night!!!!!!!!! The upside is that she is no longer grumpy from not going. :) 

Makin' Bows

So I decided that instead of paying like $10 for a hairbow, that I would make them myself...and I did. These are just some of the ones that I have made so far. I am quite proud of them. I also made some little tiny ones for the babies..they are cute too.  Lily loves to have her hair bows in...if her hair is up in any way she wants a hair bow....when I showed them to her she said "wow...beautiful.." how sweet :)

My first blog

So...now I am going to figure all this out and will post again later...
